Hey guys, just a heads up in case anyone else experiences this. A coin dropped down the driver seat gap and down under the floor (there’s a hole under the driver seat that isn’t reachable). I can’t reach or see it but can now hear a coin sliding around while I drive…

You can basically hear the coin sliding from front seat to the footwell in the backseat.

Just keep dropping coins down there until it jams up and stops making noise.

ya I've already dropped something down there. Hand to squeak my hand down and was able to barley grab it. I wonder if the front compartment door is removable to access that space to clean it?

someone reported this before and posted on it. and he even took apart some of the carpeting to see where the coin fell and if i recall based on what he found it seemed to be a bit of a design flaw that a coin could get into that area. at the very least itd be super annoying to hear it rattle all the time.

its funny how people find ways to let manufacturers off the hook by asking why anyone would carry change or suggesting we buy a crumb catcher. how about making it so coins dont fall into an area like that.
